I think there are additional issues with browsing and CUPS 1.2. I
spent quite a lot of the weekend trying to set up browsing between two
systems, and I *still* haven't got it working. And this is with a
correctly hand-configured cupsd.conf.
For the OP, see

AFAICT, this is only an issue for upgrades. This feature is of
dubious value. See

Agreed. However, I think this should be disabled, because it can't
save back a sane configuration. It scrambled my cupsd.conf when I
tried it out.
